“…Following Nigst and Haesaerts (Nigst and Haesaerts 2012, Table 2), AH3 would contain two sidescrapers and 12 Blaterally retouched blanks.^Among the latter, several could also correspond, based on the illustrations supplied, to sidescraper fragments. As previously pointed out (Zilhão 2013), sidescrapers are a rare occurrence in Early Aurignacian assemblages. However, the percentage they represent in AH3 would be, if the classifications are valid, at least ten times higher than in the Early Aurignacian of e.g., Geissenklösterle, in Germany, or the Abri Pataud, in France.…”
